Overview
AI Inspections Pro is an advanced add-on for Whip Around Inspections that uses artificial intelligence to help review inspection photos, form responses, and driver comments.
It is designed to give managers an extra layer of visibility by identifying potential issues that may need further review, such as visible damage, missed defects, or differences between inspection notes and submitted photos.
AI Inspections Pro does not replace your team’s inspection process. Instead, it helps your business catch issues earlier, improve inspection consistency, and reduce the time spent manually reviewing inspection submissions.
How It Works
Once enabled, AI Inspections Pro reviews eligible inspection photos and related inspection information after an inspection is submitted.
AI Inspections Pro can help with:
Photo analysis
AI reviews uploaded inspection photos and looks for possible issues such as:
Scratches
Dents
Rust
Leaks
Visible wear or damage
Other anomalies that may require attention
Inspection completion checks
AI can help confirm whether required inspection tasks have been completed correctly.
For example, if an inspection requires a photo of the cab to confirm it is clean, AI can review the submitted photo and flag anything that may need further attention.
Cross-checking photos and comments
AI compares inspection photos with the notes or comments submitted by the driver or operator.
For example, if a driver comments “no issues” but the photo appears to show visible damage, AI may flag the inspection for review.
AI suggestions
When AI identifies something that may need follow-up, the item appears in AI Inspections Pro. From there, your team can review the inspection, view the AI suggestion, and decide whether to create a defect or ignore the suggestion.
Why Use AI Inspections Pro?
AI Inspections Pro helps your team work more efficiently and confidently by adding another layer of review to your inspection process.
Catch issues earlier

Save time
AI helps review inspection photos and information, so managers can spend less time manually checking submissions and more time taking action.

Consistent inspection reviews help support safer assets, better maintenance decisions, and stronger compliance processes.
Increase confidence in inspection results
Every eligible inspection can receive an additional AI-powered review, helping your team catch things that may otherwise be missed.
Using AI Inspections Pro
Enable AI Analysis on Inspection Photo Cards
AI Inspections Pro can be controlled at the photo-card level within your inspection forms. This gives you flexibility over which inspection photos should be analyzed by AI. To enable AI analysis for a photo card:
Log in to Whip Around.
Go to Inspections.
Select Forms.
Open an existing inspection form that includes a photo card, or create a new form with a photo card.
Locate the photo card you want AI to review.
Turn on the Analyze photos with AI toggle.
When this toggle is turned on, photos captured using that photo card may be analyzed by AI Inspections Pro.
To stop AI analysis for a photo card, turn the Analyze photos with AI toggle off.
The Analyze photos with AI toggle on a new photo card.
Access AI Inspections Pro
There are two ways to access AI Inspections Pro.
Option 1: From Inspection History
Go to Inspections History from the left-hand navigation menu.
Select the Inspections Pro button in the top-right corner.
Option 2: From the Home Dashboard
Go to your Whip Around home dashboard.
Scroll to the bottom of the dashboard.
Open the Inspections Pro dashboard panel. I
Review AI-Flagged Inspections
When you open AI Inspections Pro, you will see inspections that have been flagged by AI for review.
The left-hand panel shows inspections from the last 30 days that AI has identified as potentially needing attention.
When you select an inspection, you can review details such as:
Inspection photo
Asset name
Driver or operator who completed the inspection
Inspection ID
Driver comments
AI suggestion
The AI suggestion explains what the system identified and why the inspection may need follow-up.
From the AI suggestion, you can choose to:
Create a defect if the issue needs action
Ignore the suggestion if no action is required
AI Inspections Pro can also review defects that were created during an inspection and surface them when AI detects additional anomalies.
Customization Options
AI Inspections Pro can be configured to better match the needs of your business.
Every fleet is different, and what one business considers important may not be relevant for another. Whip Around can help tailor AI Inspections Pro so recommendations are more useful for your team.
Custom AI requirements
AI can be adjusted based on the types of issues your business wants to prioritize.
For example, if your fleet is older and surface rust is expected, AI may flag rust frequently. If rust is not something your team wants flagged for that business, Whip Around can help adjust the AI behavior to better match your requirements.
Team-based AI review
AI Inspections Pro can be configured to focus on specific teams.
For example, your business may want AI recommendations only for certain teams, or you may want to exclude inspections submitted by a specific team.
Asset and asset-type targeting
AI Inspections Pro can also be configured for specific assets or asset types.
For example, your business may want AI recommendations for heavy vehicles only, or for a specific group of assets.
Photo-card level control
You can choose which photo cards within an inspection form should be analyzed by AI.
This gives your team control over which photos are relevant for AI review and which should be excluded.
Frequently Asked Questions

Feedback can also help improve the AI model over time.
